This weekly meme is now on tour with a new host each month. July&#8217;s host is <a href=\"http:\/\/aseaofbooks.blogspot.com\/\">A Sea of Books<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Now that I&#8217;ve finally figured out how to get my laptop to recognize my Kindle&#8230; I may need to lay off buying books for a while. I discovered I had novels from Smashwords I&#8217;d never downloaded. Guess what&#8217;s on my Kindle now?<\/p>\n<p>First up is <em>All Different Kinds of Free <\/em>by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jessicamccann.com\/\">Jessica McCann <\/a>which was a free Kindle book from Amazon. I know nothing about it except it&#8217;s published by Bell Bridge Books and so far I&#8217;ve liked everything I&#8217;ve read in their catalog.<\/p>\n<p>Next is <em>When Danger Calls <\/em>by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.terryodell.com\/\">Terry Odell<\/a>. This was in my Smashwords account. It&#8217;s a romance with a mystery twist and is the first in a series.<\/p>\n<p>Also in my Smashwords account was <em>An Absolute Mess <\/em>by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sidneyayers.com\/index.html\">Sidney Ayers<\/a>. It should be a short read\u00c2\u00a0&#8211; good for when I don&#8217;t want something long to read at lunch.<\/p>\n<p><em>Vampire Vacation <\/em>by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cjellisson.com\/\">C.J. Ellisson<\/a> was won in a giveaway. A 580-year-old vampire who runs a resort for the undead is an interesting premise.<\/p>\n<p>From NetGalley came two food related\u00c2\u00a0books for review. <em>Wheat Belly<\/em> by William Davis, MD and <em>Cook Like a Rock Star<\/em> by Anne Burrell. The first sounded interesting as I know some people who have tried to minimize their wheat intake and have felt better. I&#8217;m a frequent viewer of Burrell&#8217;s show &#8220;How to Cook Like a Restaurant Chef&#8221; on the Food Network so I wondered what she&#8217;d share in the cookbook.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly is <em>A Tale of Two Goblins <\/em>by <a href=\"http:\/\/hpmallory.com\/\">H.P. Mallory<\/a>. This is the second book in the Dulcie O&#8217;Neil Series. She&#8217;s a fairy working in law enforcement for the Netherworld. I liked the first book, <em>To Kill a Warlock<\/em>, so I bought this one.<\/p>\n<p>What arrived in your mailbox this week?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A big thank you to Marcia at A Girl and Her Books for originating Mailbox Monday.
